Gross Motor Fall Fun!

Take advantage of the autumn weather and enjoy these fun fall activities with your child:

Have your child help you rake leaves into a pile, then have a great time jumping in the pile

People cook more this time of year, so have your child help you with the entire process: help push the shopping cart, help put groceries into the card, help carry groceries into the house, help put groceries away, help with child-friendly cooking tasks like stirring and pouring...

Run into the wind for some weather-assisted resistance training

Go on a walk in your community to enjoy the changing leaves, making sure you walk on sidewalks, on grass, on dirt, up and down curbs, etc.

About Tana

As a mother of four boys, one with special medical and behavioral needs, I hope that I can be an empathetic ear to the families of those with whom I work. I believe that building a relationship is the key to success in physical therapy!
